105 God of song and art (1/2)

Shirone the Maiden of Swords

Welcome to Algore. It's been a long time, Lady Syrone. How can I help you today?

Omiros bows to me.

Now I am coming to the Kingdom of Argoa.

With my wings, I can reach the Kingdom of Argoa from the camp in about an hour.

The reason for this is to check on Omiros-kun.

”Long time no see, Omiros. ”Long time no see, Mr. Omiros. I was in the neighborhood today and I just wanted to check up on the country. How's everything?

I tell him my business here in the country and ask him what's going on.

'Yes, the crops are not as good as last year, but ....... That's not what I mean. There's no change. Daigans are here, too, and it seems peaceful.

Omiros laughs and replies.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, a middle-aged man stands there.

He looks human, but his true identity is a werewolf.

Apparently, he has taken up residence in this country.

I'm not sure. You're a werewolf, so what's so unusual about being a werewolf?　You haven't done anything wrong, have you?

I ask Daegan, narrowing my eyes.

This werewolf has done terrible things to humans before. I don't think he's going to suddenly change his mind.

'Heh. I don't like it. I'm not going to do anything bad. If you do that, that man will kill you. In fact, I've been asked to protect the country.

Daigan says with a thin smile.

Chiyuki-san says that werewolves are surprisingly loyal. He says they will listen to what the person they acknowledge as their master says.

'Yeah. Well, if that's what Kuroki ordered, is it okay?''

Kroki is kind, so he won't do anything terrible unless the White Silver Witch is involved.

I'm going to trust him.

'Yes, yes. It'll be fine. And I'm supposed to let you know when there's something wrong in this country ...... oops!

Daigan gives me a look that says he's put away.

It looks like he said something he shouldn't have.

'What's wrong?　There's no problem with that, at least calling for Kuroki to help, right?

Kroki is going to protect this country at the behest of Regina.

That's why he's putting Daegan on the ground. And if it happens, he's going to act on his own.

It shouldn't be a problem.

'What?　Um. That one, if that's okay with you, is .......

Daegan gives me a strange look.

'What?　I said something weird.

No, no!　I don't think so!　Heh.

Daegan laughs. There was something about that smile that felt like it contained something.

What the hell was that?

But there was no point in worrying about it.

''Um, by the way, Shirone-sama?　It was so urgent that I haven't been able to prepare anything in particular. Normally we should have a banquet, sir?

Mr. Omiros says apologetically.

It's fine. It's my fault for being here so suddenly. And it's been a long time since you've been here, Riette. Didn't you marry Mr. Omiros? Congratulations.

I look at Riette, who is now the crown prince next to Omiros.

'Yes. Thank you. Lady Syrone.

Then Riette bows gracefully.

She's become more mature after not seeing him for a while. When I met you before, you looked your age.

After all, does it still change when you get married?

In Japan, one could not get married at Riette's age.

However, in this world, there are many countries where there is no legal age limit for marriage, so it is not unusual for people to get married at Liette's age.

But I feel a little bit sad about it.

Well, it's good that he seems to be happy about it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to see me. That ......

Omiros wants to ask me something as he looks at Riette.

I know what I want to ask. It's about Ligeena.

'If it's you, Regena, you're doing well in the Republic of Ariadia.

Omiros looks relieved when I say this.

'Well, I'm glad to hear you're doing well: ......

Mr. Omiros: ”Mr. Omiros: ......

It's kind of sad.

Maybe I've been worrying about it all along.

''Hey hey!　Lady Syrone!　The Republic of Ariadia!　As I recall, you're talking about the great country far west of here!

Suddenly, Riette is crowding me.

She seems to be a child again, unlike before.

'Uh-huh. Surely that was the biggest country I've ever seen?'

”Wow. It's nice~. I want to go and see it too~

Riette looks at the ceiling with sparkling eyes.

Her eyes are like a girl who yearns for the city.

It seems that even in the Kingdom of Argoa, despite being quite far away, the name of the Republic of Ariadia is well known.

Maybe she would like to go and see it if she was born in the Kingdom of Argoa, where there is little entertainment.

Riette doesn't seem to think anything in particular about Regina anymore.

I feel a little relieved to know that.

''Hey, hey, Riette. You're the next queen, so what are you saying? d*mn, I thought I'd grown up. I'm still a kid.

'Come on, brother Macusis!　You want to go and see it, so I don't blame you!

Riette starts to get angry at her brother, Macusis.

I'm surprised at first, but apparently Liette hasn't changed much.

I can't help but smile.

Omiros laughs as well, following suit.

'Already!　What!　Everyone!

Riette's cheeks puffed up.

The sight was so cute that everyone in the place laughed.

◆Chiyuki, the black-haired wise man.

The sun is setting and the warriors are spending their nights.

Well, most of the warriors drink and frolic, which is always the case.

We can hear them even where we are.

I don't think it's a good idea to drink on the march.

The general, Porthos and his men feel the same way, but they don't seem to have any particular intention of saying anything.

Of course, there are serious warriors who do not drink.

Serious warriors take care of their weapons and practice fighting.

The methods of martial arts practice are diverse. Some of them even use captured goblins to practice their swords.

Of course, the goblins are bare-handed, but it is probably more disciplined to fight a living, resisting opponent.
